Being Brave

Today we had our monthly assembly. We performed in front of Lakewood School students and families. We presented with Room 15.  We talked about what it means to be brave and then we showed our "Brave Video." Click the link here to see the video. It was inspired by Sara Bareilles. We used parts of her video to help with ours. Thank You!
Enjoy!

Mummy Making

We had a fabulous time getting our hands dirty today! We made mummies out of tin foil, glue and paper towel. We pretended to scoop out all the internal organs to mummify our Egyptian kings and queens! Stay tuned for a animoto video highlighting all the fun! 

An Egyptian Expert!

Today Ms. Watts came down to our class to tell us about her visit to Egypt. she brought in 4 albums full of pictures. She showed us pictures of mummies, tombs, camels and pyramids. We had a lot of great questions for her! She also showed us what Cities look like in present day Egypt. Here are some things we learned:

The climate is very hot and dry

When Ramadan is, you don't eat during the daylight hours

You can enter some pyramids, but not others

Security guards at the pyramids ride camels

You can buy lots of fresh foods at the markets

Ms Watts ate a lot of pita bread and hummus

We had a great time! Thanks for sharing, Ms. Watts!

CELEBRATING OUR ACHIEVEMENTS

Today all primary choir members went to Music Festival in the afternoon. We sang "Catch A Little Sunbeam" and "Inuit Vignette." The judges said mostly everything was good but we had to work on making our singing more peaceful. We ended up getting a gold medallion!
On Tuesday, our intermediate choir sang "Swim Little Fishy" and "The Wind." They received a silver medallion!

This afternoon we learned how to use "Quipio!" This app makes digital posters! We used words that described the @room14monsters!
We had lots of fun!

Leaning Tower of Pisa

For Italy we made the Leaning Tower of Pisa out of toilet paper rolls and modelling clay. We learned that he leaning tower of Pisa took over 800 years to fnally be finished(constructed). Years later it began to lean a lot! Architects were afraid that it would totally fall over. Many men took ropes to help support it.  Every 20 years it leans over 1 inch. They finally were able to fix it by removing extra ground from the higher side. Enjoy!
